4 Story of Ouida.

The following characteristic story is
told concerning Miss de La Rame
(Ouida) relating to a recent solourn
she made at a leading hotel in London
Every week, according to custom, the
manager sent her bill, but she paid
no attention to it. At last her ac-
count amounted to more than 81 200.
One day she took her maid and pet
dog and went for walk. When she
returned she found her room locked
and the key gone. She flew to the
Office in great temper and demanded
of the clerk the reason of this insult
The clerk quietly told her that her bill
they did not feel like flowing it to
get any larger. If she paid her bill the
door would be unlocked. At this
Ouida went into perfect passion, say
ing she did not know why she ever
STAYED at the hotel. They were the
most inartistic people she ever heard
Of She had no business stopping at
a hotel the proprietor of which would
allow such looking church as the
one opposite to stand facing him for
so many years. She continued this
style of criticism for some time, and
then asked the clerk to call cab that
she might leave the house forever.
She then discovered she had no change
to pay cabman, so she passed'a $50
note over to the clerk. saying she
wished he would change it so that she
could pay the cabman when she should
dismiss him. The clerk calmly took
the note and placed it in a drawer in
his desk and locked it up. This left
Ouida without a penny. Then she be-
gan again discussing the inartistic
spirit of the proprietor, also saying
that it was great advantage to the
hotel to have lady of her position in
it, but she failed to impress the clerk,
and she finally took her maid and dog
day or two.

Standing nv the Teacher

The State Register of Springfield, Ills,
relates the following curious experience
of DIR. Lameroux, of Eldon, La. The
doctor is physician about 40 years old,
who in his youth was of an adventurous
turn. At one time he found himself
teaching school down in the Cherokee
country, in a schoolhouse which his own
hands had helped to build.
On one occasion, having offended a
number of young Cherokee bucks by
promising them a 'sgood square lick
ing" for some infringement of his rules,
he discovered that his pupils had come to
school armed to the teeth, intending, as
he expresses it, to "do him up" if he
attempted to carry out his threat
He Immediately dispatched a secret
messenger to inform the parents of the
young men of the state of affairs, and
ask their attendance at the school.
They soon came, and the schoolmaster
addressed them in few explanatory
words. He said that the young men had
disobeyed the rules, and must take their
punishment or leave the school. The old
bucks, after consulting together, agreed
to stand by the teacher, whereupon the
refractory pupils were one by one dis
armed and punished.
The pistols, knives and other weapons
made quite pile in the center of the
room. Some time after this the school
gave an exhibition, which is said to have
been the first school exhibition ever held
in Indian territory, at which about 1900
Indians Were present. Many of them
came days beforehand, and camped on
the spot to await the great event.

Yet, says another correspondent, lit
seemed to all who watched the fight

got through they would inevitably have
been sunk by fire from the ironclads. =

A big, fine looking, high stepping,
head in the air, nervous horse was driven
down Central street attached to buggy
In which were two men. There was a
blockade of teams in front of the theatre
for moment, and when the way was
cleared again the horse would not bulge.
His driver told him to go on, but he
didn't move. The other man got out
and tried to lead him, but he was as i'm
movable as though his legs had been
driven into the ground. The driver
began to lose his temper and took up the
whip, when a horsey looking imam came
from the rear of the theatre, and taking
in the situation at glance said:
Hold on a minute; I'll start you.
He went to the rear of the buggy and
pushed it steadily against the horse. The
horse found it necessary to take a step
forward, that step led to others, and he
trotted off down the street as easily as
need be.
''It's no use to try to lead horse like
that, or to thrash him." said the horsey
man. HE is green. He never has been
driven much, and don't know what is
wanted off him. Worcester Telegram.

A Feat of Engineering.

The Sukkur bridge has just been COM
pleted at the works of Messrs. Westwood,
Baillie & Co., London yard, Poplar. The
bridge, which is ON the cantileveT prin-
ciple, is to be constructed over the Kohri
pass of the Indus, at Sukkur, ON the line
of railway from Kurrachee and Attock.
A noticeable feature about the work is
the erection of probably one of the finest
pieces of scaffolding which has ever been
built, and which has been a conspicuous
object on the banks of the Thames at
Poplar and for miles around. 1t is 400
feet long by 1870 feet wide, and $50 feet
high, with about 1900 loads of timber,
which, if laid out, would measure "A
hneal miles, the weight of the bolts,
nails and other ironwork being about 40
tons. The contract has taken about two
years to complete, the bridge having to
be temporarily erected at the works pre-
vious TO being sent out to India. Chi

Japan. Commercial Port.

Yokohama is the greatest commercial
port of the empire, and its importance is
increasing steadily year by year. Fine
steamers enter and leave its harbor every
day, and it is in Geographic communica-
ton with all parts of the world. Its most
important export at the present time is
silk, the value of that sent TO the United
States and Europe last year amounting to
$12, 500, 900. Tea comes next in order of
importance, and almost all of it is sent
direct to San Francisco for American
consumption. That sent to the United
States last year was valued at So, $50, 900,
and the amount exported is slowly but
steadily increasing.
OF 1000 foreigners in Yokohama near
ly 600 are British subjects, $50 Ameri-
cans, 100 Germans, 100 French, and
1850 Chinese. The Chinese here are
steady, hard working and money getting,

Surprising Statements Made by n French
Mfssionary-origin of the Idea
Able Larrieu, formerly missionary
in China, has published pamphlet paris,
Leroux), ON the great wall of China, to
demonstrate that this structure does not
exist and has never existed. The popu>
lar belief is that this wall stretches for
about 500 leagues across China, from the
sea to the province of Kan-Su, that it is
wholly constructed of cut stone, and 80
cubits high by 12 broad. 1t is believed
to run straight ON regardless of obstacles,
going down valleys and up mountains,
without break, except such as time has
made, along its whole course. This no
ton originated with a Jesuit named Mar
TIM, who visited China about 1850, and
his description was followed by subse-
quent writers.
NJ. Larrieu has lived for several years
under what would have been the shadow
of the Great Wall had there been one: he
has studied the writings Of recent writers
especially Able Huc-who have crossed
the line7of the alleged wall in various
places; he has likewise studied the
Chinese history of the subject. and his
conclusions are as follows: 90 The term
s-Great Wall IS at the bottom of all the
misunderstanding. and it comes from
the Chinese expression, 1.-THE wall Of
the ten thousand Iii" (e) as described
by Martini and other writers who
have copied him, this wall does not
and never did exist; CD a Chinese
emperor undoubtedly did conceive
